Beelgara Winery

The Beelgara Winery and name has a history that dates back over 80 years. Originally situated in the village of Beelbangera, the place name is derived from the local Aboriginal word meaning “native companion”. The Brolga bird, also known as the Aboriginal “native companion”, is depicted on our labels, to remind us of our Beelbangera origins and proud Australian heritage.

The Beelgara Range includes Estate, Beelgara Black, Beelgara Sparkling and The Vines.

The Beelgara Black range is a true expression of our wine-making style. A desire to drink rich succulent reds and fresh textured whites has lead our winemakers to some of Australias most renowned wine making regions renowned for producing rich, full bodied red wines, and aromatic, elegant white wines.
